throwing up...?

Question

i finally made myself throw up for the first time
is it normal to get a headache afterwards?
and also, how do you know if you've thrown up as much as you can? and as you kee doing it, does it get easier?

Answer 1

You know it's bad for you, but anyway, as a recovering bulimic, I can tell you it NEVER gets easier. It gets MUCH worse than a headache. I am only 26 and I have had a stroke, a heart attack, rotted back teeth, permanent heartburn, ulcers, stomach and digestion problems, constipation, etc. Not pretty, is it? You will regret it when (WHEN, not if) you're lying in a hospital bed with tubes everywhere, and I mean everywhere, and needles all over the place. Not worth it.

Answer 2

I have spent the last 12 years battling Anorexia which also led to Bulimia and it is very sad to read you question. Trust me you do not want to go down that path, it leads to death very quickly. I have lost one friend to Bulimia and one to Anorexia. Bulimia can kill you really quickly and before it does that it robs you of everything. The headache you got will be the least of your problems, and I am only telling you this because if I could stop or never even started I would be and would have been a lot happier. For whatever reasons you have decided to do it keep in mind you will destroy and eventually lose your teeth from stomach acid, you will destroy you esphogaus, and not to mention your heart and all the damage can not be fixed. Think about this before you continue. There are better and healthier ways to lose weight.

Answer 3

Yes it is normal to have a headache.. it's a lot of pressure to force yourself to throw up. If you've continued to throw up and start getting either acid or dry heaves, you've thrown up as much as you can... and yes, it gets easier, in fact if you do it enough you won't have to force yourself to throw up, it will just become natural.. HOWEVER: I have to say, that bulimia is very serious and it's not something to just start up... there are way better ways to lose weight, and faster ways too.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, honey, but you don't get any brownie points for throwing up. Why are you doing this to yourself? It's called "bulimia" and it's not a healthy way to lose weight. You keep this up and you will end up skinny and dead with no teeth! Throwing up will cause your electrolytes to be messed up, which can lead to permanent damage to your heart among other things. All of that acid will rot out your teeth and gums and you'll look like a meth junkie not to mention smell like one! STOP IT RIGHT NOW ! You are making yourself ill with a deadly habit and it can kill you! Godloveya...and I mean it...STOP IT...before you can't stop!

Answer 5

Yes most people will get a head ache after making them self throw up, and you can never tell if your body can or will throw up more.

By the way do you know you're killing your teeth and everything else by doing this? You should never make yourself throw up. Sooner or later as years pass you will regret it.

Answer 6

ITS NOT NORMAL TO MAKE YOURSELF THROW UP PERIOD.

please do not do that

i have a friend like you and she is now living in a "house"..with a bunch of other girls..and its a dangerous road

Answer 7

I've never done it, but you probably will get a headache afterwards. DONT THROW UP!!! ITS NOT HEALTHY!!! YOU WILL GET AN EATING DISORDER, PUKE UP BLOOD, AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL DIE A VERY PAINFUL, SLOW DEATH!!!

Answer 8

your might want to listen to this before going down that road, it gets easier to do but you can't stop it
